Healthline Blogs

Dr. Jones has found that there is a surprising lack of medical blogging about one particular body part: the eyes. Our eyes are incredibly important to our quality of life, and yet most of us mistakenly believe that if we see well, we can safely ignore those little globes.

Dr. Val’s New Blog Teaches You All About Eye Health – With Podcasts!

I’ve been blogging for over seven years on various websites—which means I’ve
probably written the equivalent of several books about health and medicine! But
in all those years of writing, I’ve found that there is a surprising lack of
medical blogging about one particular body part: the eyes. Today I’m starting a
new blog here on Healthline to try to rectify that situation. Our eyes are
incredibly important to our quality of life, and yet most of us mistakenly
believe that if we see well, we can safely ignore those little globes. I myself
used to believe tha,t until a vision-threatening condition was unexpectedly discovered
during a routine eye exam. Because of one optometrist’s astute observation, I
was able to track and avoid future vision loss. So for all of you out there who
appreciate your eyes and want to keep them in tip top shape, welcome to the new
Healthy Vision blog!

In addition to my upcoming blog posts about all things
visual, I will be offering expert interviews in podcast format for those who
(ironically) would like to listen rather than read about their eyes. Ahem. But
if you’ve been spending too much time staring at the computer screen lately,
then give your peepers a rest and tune in to the Healthy Vision with Dr. Val
Jones™
show here at Blog Talk
Radio.

I am very grateful to Johnson & Johnson Vision Care,
Inc. who has provided support for the Healthy Vision show. Without their
commitment to health education, my podcasts would not be possible.

I look forward to hearing from you in the comments section
of the blog, and please stay tuned for more exciting eye news and expert
interviews. For example, do you know when an eye injury requires medical
attention? Find out in my next blog post.
